Hey, wasn't John Williams once the celebrated protege of (defunct) Hamilton County Prosecutor Mike Allen? Way to suppress and discourage new voters, John!

COLUMBUS - Thousands of cards mailed by county election boards to newly registered voters in Hamilton County and throughout the state are being returned because the people can't be found.

John Williams, director of the Hamilton County Board of Elections, said the situation indicates that there might not be as many new voters as some expect in a state deemed crucial in the presidential election.

Ohio Republican Party Chairman Robert Bennett on Tuesday said it's a result of statewide registration fraud conducted by independent groups that support Democratic candidates.

"By most accounts, their work can only be considered sloppy, haphazard and, in some cases, downright illegal," Bennett said, noting that the state party plans to take out full-page ads in Ohio newspapers encouraging citizens to stop voter fraud.

1. They have plenty of time to find the names in the database &

stop those faux voters from voting. That said, I hope they find the idiots that did this and throw the book at them. It's stupid and bad P.R. for the Dems.

2. Ohio has so many new registrations that they are having a

hard time keeping up.

They are trying to blame their problems on organizations like MoveOn, and ACT.

I don't buy it. Remember, this is the state the president of Diebold promised to deliver to *. This is the state where they were going to throw out all new registrations that were not on 80 lb. card stock. Watch for fraud by repukes in this state, not Dems.
